Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0271269A1] The present invention is an absorbent blotter (30) for use below a meat product or the like during storage and during cooking. The blotter includes an absorbent means (32) adapted to absorb liquids released from the meat product during cooking. In order to prevent substantial absorption prior to cooking, the pad also includes a heat shrinkable film (34) adjacent the top surface of the blotter which film is partially attached to the absorbent means (32) so as to leave at least one area which is not attached to the blotter. The film also includes at least one opening feature (36), i.e. a perforation or pre-weakened area, in the at least one area which is not attached to the blotter. As a result, when the pad is subjected to heat during cooking, the film around the perforation or weakened point shrinks so as to open a hole through the film to thereby allow liquids released from the meat product to pass into the absorbent means (32). Various configurations of perforations and pre-weakened areas are described.
